Montauk, sea, stretch’ and sun
Montauk - New Saint Tropez n°7
Warning - Hot spot! Montauk could easily surpass Formentera, Hydra or other Sorrente as the favorite destination of hipsters, surfers, yogi artists, and healthy gypsets, in other words, the coolest, most bohemian or glamorous people in the world. And we can understand them!


The place to see
It's hard to resist to Montauk's charm, a harmonious mix of fishermen families, New Yorkers looking for fresh air and celebrities not dreaming about being anonymous anymore. Whereas in the 70s the Rolling Stones used to come and visit Andy Warhol incognito, today, Gwyneth Paltrow, Leonardo DiCaprio, Lady Gaga and others wander around with ease in front of accustomed bystanders.


An inspired lifestyle
There is something magical around this little town in the East of Long Island, at less than 200km away from New York. Every summer season, the sleeping beauty with its incredible and breathtaking landscape knows how to reinvent itself, being inspired by the best New York trends, the coolness of Angelenos or the Mediterranean easy way life. Pop-up store, trendy restaurants, private concerts, ephemeral art galleries, yoga classes on the beach, Montauk is not only another chic holiday destination in the Hamptons. It has his own inimitable, generous and eclectic style, yet very fashionable.
